DURING A CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT THE PILOT SWITCHED FUEL TANKS AND THE ENGINE QUIT. THE PILOT SWITCHED BACK TO ORIGINAL SETTING BUT COULD NOT RESTART THE ENGINE.

MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL STATED THE ENGINE WAS FLOODED BY THE BOOST PUMP DURING THE RESTART AND THE LACK OF ALTITUDE PREVENTED CLEARING THE ENGINE.
